In conventional conservative doctrine, the mainstream press and much of the new media are little more than arms of Democratic Party officialdom. Also, bigotry and misogyny are no longer widespread problems, in the rights tellingand to the extent that they still exist, they are no more prevalent on the right than on the left.
In their efforts to stop Trump, conservatives have sidelined these and other premises about American political culture, so that the generic liberal critique of conservatism might be deployed against him and him alone.

“Tinfoil much?”
No. I use platinum foil.
I’m curious if you ask the same question to the many here who state, seriously it seems, that Trump is sent from God to save America?

Trump will probably lose the nomination but he has won the culture war ... at least here on Free Republic.
I would never have believed that people here would lower their standards to the point that they had to do in order to support Trump.

Hostage reminded me why this was pretty much an non-issue but continue your blind rants.
You failed to read the link I sent you and the whole leftist/GOPe false narrative of Trump is pretty much debunked by a fellow Freeper citing Trump’s books going back to the 80’s and his long-time conservative positions as a businessman and citizen.
Trump is turning out to be a far more on the principled side of conservatism than Ted Cruz will ever be in reality if you would learn to shake labels. While Ted Cruz may have the label of conservative, aligning with the enemies of our Constitution, only proves that in name only and you obviously approve.
What does that say about you?

sent from God to save America?I've not yet seen that of the Donald, but I think it's been said of Cruz.

YOU are a f--king moron.
Here's an idea: try REFUTING the content of my post #74? PROVE it's wrong why don't you?
Why won't you do that?
Simple, because you are an intellectually lazy bum, quick to make baseless assertions (like your insipid post #14) but you run like Hell when faced with a response based on fact.

I remember reading about this but now Im reminded why it was far down the list of non-important issues with Trump.
There are far more issues at stake like preserving our Constitution and freedom & liberty but jwalsh07 thinks this is funny.
We cant help it if jwalsh07 has sided with the Cruz campaign that has now aligned itself with the anti-liberty and anti-freedom side of the spectrum. I dont find that funny at all with Cruzs decision to align with them and try to win this thing at all costs. There is nothing conservative about that.

It comes down to just one of two options:
jwalsh07 is a moron
OR jwalsh07 is a sell out to the GOPe's boy Cruz
(or perhaps both)

You should go to TheRightScoop.com. They are whacked out Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers who immediately ban anyone who has a counter-argument to their hate and lies. Youd fit right in.

Morris, where have you been the past 15 year?
Freepers have gone through this Michael Moore propaganda for decades now.
Now you claim Freepers should side with Michael Moore propaganda?

It is crazy.
But, many of the Trump supporters I remember never showed many conservative traits to begin with. Profane, hostile to Religion, hate the police etc...

Refute post #74 you lazy weasel. Don't play word games. Either refute it, or STFU.

D-uh.
You don't have to be conservative or conventional to understand that.

You don’t have to be Michael Moore to loathe the Saudis.
They were directly response for the murders carried out on 9/11. They are evil beyond belief. They decapitate and mutilate women, men and children on a daily basis, enslave poor women from the Philippines, carry on like degenerate rabbits when they vacation in Europe. The royal family deserves everything that happens to them and I hope it happens soon.
We have laid down with dogs and we caught the fleas.

I’m sure Senator Sessions will lose sleep tonight worrying about your opinion of him.
